Pop festival of the week: Camp Bestival, Lulworth Castle, Dorset
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Young ones, old ones, wobbling in-between ones: all generations are well served by Bestival's sibling festival, a blissful boutique business offering plenty of kids' stuff (Erth's Dinosaur Zoo, Horrible Histories, Mr Tumble) and plenty to keep discerning parents quiet, too.
Richard Hawley spurned Glastonbury for being too corporate, so his acceptance of a headline slot in Dorset is a classy stamp of approval.
Others answering in the affirmative include Ash, I Am Kloot, Mark Owen, the Proclaimers, Labrinth and – proof, surely, that the Camp bridges generations like few others – pre-Britpop student favourites the Levellers.
